Discover the Best of Gujarat with Our Tour Packages
Whether you're drawn to Gujarat's temple architecture, its spiritual heart, or its desert and wildlife side, our packages are built to cover the state's most rewarding stops without over-packing the itinerary. Each route below can be shortened, extended, or combined into a custom plan.
History & Culture of Gujarat
Gujarat's identity is shaped by more than four thousand years of history, from the Indus Valley port town of Lothal to the sun-carved Modhera temple and the step-well architecture of Patan's Rani ki Vav. Hindu, Jain, and Indo-Islamic influences all left their mark here, visible today in the state's stepwells, its Garba and Dandiya dance traditions, and its Navratri festival, one of the longest dance festivals in the world.
Explore Historic Cities: Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and Bhuj
- Ahmedabad — A UNESCO World Heritage City, the old walled city is home to a maze of historic pols (traditional neighbourhoods), the Jama Masjid, Sidi Saiyyed's carved stone jaali, and the Sabarmati Riverfront.
- Vadodara — Once the capital of the princely state of Baroda, known for the grand Laxmi Vilas Palace and its proximity to Kevadia and the Statue of Unity.
- Bhuj — The historic gateway to Kutch, home to the Aina Mahal and Prag Mahal palaces and a base for exploring the White Rann and its surrounding handicraft villages.
A Spiritual Journey: Dwarka, Somnath, and Modhera
- Dwarkadhish Temple, Dwarka — One of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites and the legendary kingdom of Lord Krishna, drawing pilgrims year-round.
- Somnath Temple — The first among the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, rebuilt several times through history and set dramatically against the Arabian Sea.
- Modhera Sun Temple — An 11th-century temple built to align with the equinox sun, with an adjoining stepped tank, Surya Kund.
Highlights of Gujarat: From Salt Desert to Wildlife
The Rann of Kutch, one of the world's largest salt marshes, turns into a shimmering white desert after the monsoon and hosts the annual Rann Utsav tent festival. Nearby, Gir National Park shelters the last wild population of the Asiatic lion, best explored on a jeep safari.
Experience the Serenity of Diu and Mandvi's Beaches
Gujarat's coastline offers a quieter alternative to India's better-known beach destinations. Diu, a former Portuguese colony, combines golden sand with a fort, churches, and a laid-back pace, while Mandvi, near Bhuj, offers a long stretch of beach and the historic Vijay Vilas Palace.
Wildlife Wonders: A Visit to Gir National Park
In the forested hills of Junagadh district, Gir National Park is the only place in the world where the Asiatic lion still roams wild. A jeep safari here pairs well with a visit to the temples of nearby Somnath and Junagadh's Uparkot Fort.
Taste the Flavours of Gujarat
- Dhokla — a steamed, spongy savoury cake made from fermented rice and chickpea batter, one of Gujarat's best-known snacks.
- Thepla — a spiced flatbread made with fenugreek leaves, a popular travel snack across the state.
- Undhiyu — a slow-cooked mixed vegetable dish, traditionally made in winter with seasonal produce.
- Fafda-Jalebi — a classic Sunday morning combination of crispy gram-flour strips and syrup-soaked jalebi.
Shop for Unique Souvenirs in Gujarat's Markets
- Kutch — famous for intricate mirror-work embroidery and handicrafts from the villages around Bhuj and Khavda.
- Patan — home of Patola, a double-ikat woven silk sari technique that can take months to complete.
- Jamnagar — known for Bandhani, Gujarat's traditional tie-dye textile art.
- Ahmedabad — the place to find Ajrakh block-printed textiles and traditional Gujarati silverwork.
Enjoy Desert Safaris and Outdoor Activities in Gujarat
Beyond sightseeing, Gujarat offers a desert safari across the Rann of Kutch, a jeep safari through Gir National Park in search of the Asiatic lion, and boating at Saputara Lake in the Sahyadri hills. Diu and Mandvi's beaches are also low-key spots for a swim or a quiet walk along the shore.
How to Plan Your Perfect Gujarat Vacation
To make the most of a trip to Gujarat, it helps to decide early what you want more of — temples, wildlife, or the desert — since the state offers all three within a few hours' drive of each other. Consider your available days, preferred hotel category, and whether you'd like to time your visit for the Rann Utsav season, then let us tailor a package around that.
